The best video of 2022 was uploaded to YouTube in December, and it’s only been seen by about 1200 people.
*That* Steve Ballmer video.
In high quality.
And longer.

Designed by Vadim Gerasimov, co-developer of the original PC version of Tetris, Vadims is a puzzle game in a similar style. Arrange the falling blocks horizontally or vertically to draw a triangle. Definitely less immediate then the original Tetris.
The game was only released on PlayStation in Japan in 1996 and quickly forgotten.

some incredible person rewrote warren robinett's Robot Odyssey (apple //) for a browser
if you've never heard of it: you explore an underground city of robots by... hopping inside of a robot, visually reprogramming it by picking up and dropping things, and then using it to do stuff
crazy great #ui design, especially considering this was 1984.
the code would be later torn apart and repurposed for other games in the Learning Company's library, like Rocky's Boots.

Mambos No. 1-3 were sabotaged during construction. Mambo No. 4 vanished shortly after coming online. Mambo No. 5 is our last, best hope for peace.

After yesterday's success with the #GameboyCamera #Trichrome for the #1990sCameraChallenge #ShittyCameraChallenge, I thought I would use a full-spectrum #Funtograph (taken without using the infrared cut filter) to produce a #Gameboy AEROCHROME.
I used the full-spectrum funtograph for the red layer, the red filter image for the green layer and the green filter image for the blue layer, according to the method of Joshua Bird. It looks pretty darn good, if I say so myself.

Certainly, assigning a Divine Inspiration to your computer program is not unheard of (the tale of Temple OS comes to mind), but it's certainly unusual to see it justified so, for a screen saver. And definitely, as the author states, a different motivation than the more "drug trip inspired" graphical demos that were Dazzle's contemporaries.
I had always wondered if this image, of the space man sitting at a drafting table, was based on any existing paintings or drawings, perhaps from a cover of a science fiction novel, so I happened to look in the rather exhaustively detailed, 25+ page manual that comes with it. It did not answer that question, but it does answer what the deal is with that caption - complete with biblical citations.
This goes on for about 5 pages in itself.
One of the most fascinating rabbit holes I've ever witnessed in PC Shareware: for several versions (until 5.x), the MS-DOS screensaver program, DAZZLE, would display this image - and its somewhat cryptic caption - upon exiting the program. Where'd it come from? What does it mean?
i mean of course your character could just LEARN TO COOK but also your only source of recipes is random moms' scrapbooks that contain print outs of recipes from Facebook, the kind that have like 8 paragraphs of preamble
idea: survival simulator game where the only food available in world is the leftovers in people's fridges; you have to manage not just your hunger gauge, but manage to prepare said leftovers in ways that don't also sharply raise your "yuck" gauge or lower your "variety" gauge.
sure, leftover Mac and cheese is fine, but you really gotta eat it 5 times in a row?
